Chad begins by basing the music on the activities planned for that particular outing.  Wake boarding and similar activities call for something more high-energy.  An evening cruise might call for something more mellow.  Everyone has a song they love.  Katie recommends classic rock for a day out on the lake.  Brian likes newer music.  Molley prefers to avoid slow music, although there\u2019s always an exception when you\u2019re out looking for driftwood. The group agrees that having a good stereo system on your boat is important.  However, if that\u2019s not the case, you can always take along a really good Bluetooth speaker to blast your tunes. Molley recommends having a wide-variety of music and artists.  Older music and classic rock are usually good if kids are around, because the language is safer.  In fact, she used to create different CDs for lake weekends, depending upon the group.  Now, everyone has playlists that do the same.  Don\u2019t miss the discussion about Chaka Kahn.  Do you agree or disagree? One of Katie\u2019s all-time favorites for the lake is Paul Simon\u2019s Queen of Corona (a.k.a. Me and Julio Down by the School Yard).  She also likes a cover of Dixieland Delight by Nappy Roots. Music can become a tradition for your outings.  Molley\u2019s dad influenced some of the selections she and Chad have.  Around sunset, they like to breakout Hello Darlin\u2019 by Conway Twitty.  Chad introduces a song he found on many of the boating playlists.  It\u2019s Waves by Mr. Probz.  It\u2019s pretty good.  Click the link to give it a shot. Do You Have a Go-To Song You Have to Hear on the Water? Chad:  He says he\u2019ll sing along with all of yours. Molley:  Atomic Dog Brian:  Anything by Kings of Leon Katie:  It\u2019s got to include something by CCR They agree Yacht Rock and songs from Bob Marley work well.  Music Tip Chad recommends downloading at least 1 playlist with 100 songs or more.  If your cell phone loses its signal in the middle of the lake or your radio doesn\u2019t pick up multiple stations, you\u2019ll still have music to play. Introducing New Music The group agrees that finding new covers of older songs can make for a fun playlist.  Some of them are even better that the originals. Music Etiquette Katie comments that if multiple boats pull into a cove, it\u2019s a good idea to take turns listening to the various playlists from each of the boats.  Don\u2019t try to blow everyone else out or dominate it. Remember, you\u2019re out there to have a good time. Part of the adventure is having the right tunes for the day.  Find some that work for you and create memories that you\u2019ll take home with you.  The right songs will take you back to those outings and get you thinking about your next trip, so have fun with it We\u2019ll leave you today with one of Katie\u2019s recommendation, Redneck Yacht Club by Craig Morgan.   That\u2019s a wrap for this episode.  I hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.
